Psycho spring

Mother Nature took advantage of April Fool's Day on Saturday to make much of Colorado think spring's arrival was but a joke and we were still in the depths of winter.

I shared on social media Saturday the wintry outlook from various windows around my place. Here, my Instagram share — three brief videos (click each photo a time or two to start the snow; click the arrows on the sides of each pic to go back and forth through the three):

Currently at our place. #springtimeintherockies #snow #spring #yayformoisture #colorado

Clearly was just a joke, though, as 24 hours later, my husband and I were sitting on the back deck enjoying sunshine, blue skies, temps in the mid-60s, and not a speck of snow in sight. 'Twas all melted and slurped up by bushes and plants (and birds, too).

Psycho spring! In the Rockies, at least.

Oh, and though temps will be in the 50s here today, snow is forecast for tonight. And all day tomorrow. With sunshine and clear skies scheduled for the rest of the week.

Like I said: Psycho spring!
